Julio Sanchez - IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame

Julio Sanchez 1899 - 1985 2001 Inductee Julio Sanchez made a lasting mark on sportfishing in an era when game fish were plentiful and good tackle was not. He was born in Cuba in 1899 and raised on his father's sugar plantation, where at a young age he hunted game and fished for tarpon in the Rio Encantado. After earning a civil and electrical engineering degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Sanchez began making fundamental changes to his family's plantation, to many of Cuba's farm and flood control programs, and to the theories, techniques and equipment of big-game fishing. As unofficial field tester for Tycoon Rods, he proposed lengthening the rod butt, thus enabling the angler to increase his leverage, his pull, and his odds for landing the big ones. As a result of his input, ball bearing roller guides were added to Tycoon Tackle's famous Bimini King rod, a favorite of big-game fishermen. Sanchez was the first to increase the thickness of the reel spool when synthetic fishing line began replacing linen; designed the first footrest for a fighting chair, allowing anglers to remove their feet from the transom; created a fishing harness that was a precursor of the bucket seat; and devised a fishing technique for landing bluefin tuna unscathed by sharks which is still in practice today. Sanchez, together with Ernest Hemingway, pioneered big-game fishing in the Bahamas; was a founding member of the Miami Beach Rod and Reel Club in 1930; won the first Cat Cay Tuna Tournament in 1939 with a total bluefin catch of 4,177 pounds; and participated in six International Tuna Cup Matches at Wedgeport, Nova Scotia, leading the Cuban Team to victory in 1938 and 1947. A modest man known for his propriety, fairness and sense of humor, Julio Sanchez will be remembered for his ingenuity and for exemplifying the very ideals of sport fishing: sportsmanship, good will and mutual understanding between countries.
